The others looked at each other in the courtyard.

Li Xiangyun waved her hand: "Eat quickly, ignore him, if you want to leave, then leave; if you want to divorce, then divorce!"

Everyone was silent for a moment, then laughter returned to the courtyard.

Huo Changgen sat alone on the kang (a heated brick bed) in the room, and he no longer felt hungry.

He sat there all alone.

He sighed, lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed), and seemed lost in thought.

It just doesn't move at all.

After everyone in the courtyard finished eating, Wang Cuihong and Zhang Hongying cleaned up the dishes in the kitchen.

Li Xiangyun went straight into the house.

She glanced at the person lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) and said irritably, "Go away! There's no place for you in this room. Go sleep in Jianjun's room."

Huo Changgen sat up abruptly on the kang (a heated brick bed), somewhat dissatisfied, and said, "This is also my room, why should I go to Jianjun's room?"

Li Xiangyun didn't want to talk to him, so she simply blew out the light and went to sleep.

Actually, she hadn't thought about divorce, but the thought of her husband being so focused on his sister made her uncomfortable.

Ever since Huo Changlan returned, this old man has been acting like he's possessed, refusing to listen to anything we say!

If she continues to indulge him, this family will fall apart!

Huo Changgen wanted to talk to Li Xiangyun, but Li Xiangyun kept her back to him and ignored him.

He sighed and had no choice but to close his eyes and go to sleep.

Yun Ningyan and Huo Junshan have already left.

The two locked the gate as soon as they entered the yard. When Dahei heard that its owner had returned, it wagged its tail to greet him.

Yun Ningyan patted Dahei's head: "Isn't it time for Dahei to take a bath?"

Huo Junshan waved to Dahei, signaling Dahei to go to sleep.

"Give him a bath whenever you have time, but you're not allowed to give him a full bath."

Huo Junshan pulled Yun Ningyan into the house.

The two didn't make a fuss that night, and Yun Ningyan slept well.

The two got up early the next day to go to work, but the team leader announced a bombshell announcement that morning.

"The brigade's application to build a school has been approved!"

The moment the news was announced, the brigade was in an uproar.

Every household is wondering who in their family is a high school student and who has a diploma.

This is a secure job, who wouldn't want it?

Moreover, if you become a teacher, you won't have to work in the fields every day.

Teaching is a respectable job.

However, the team leader added, "The teacher is still uncertain, so we won't select one for now. We'll select a teacher after the school is built."

The people below were all overjoyed; this was a wonderful thing.

There weren't many kids in the team who were in elementary school to begin with.

One reason was that they didn't have money, and the other was that they had to go to the commune to attend primary school.

Other brigades have schools that are far away, some even requiring a trek over mountains.

Of course, the adults were worried.

This also led to families who wanted their children to go to school having to give up because there were no schools in the village.

After all, I have to go to work every day, and I can't pick up and drop off my child every day. The time cost would be too high, enough to earn several work points.

The brigade is building a school now, which is a great thing!

With children attending schools nearby, parents no longer need to worry.

Those selected to build houses included Huo Junshan, Huo Jianguo, Huo Guodong, Yan Hua...

Everyone was still discussing this matter when they went to work, and the commune members were all staring at those educated educated youth.

This incident caused quite a stir at the educated youth settlement.

Those educated youths with high school diplomas were all secretly scheming about the good stuff they had and thinking about taking a shortcut to the brigade leader's house.

Being a teacher is much better than doing farm work!

Compared to the excitement and enthusiasm of the others, Yun Ningyan and Huo Junshan seemed much more indifferent.

They both already knew about this, so they didn't react much.

Lin Mengmeng, on the other hand, was overjoyed; she also only had a high school diploma.

If I could become a teacher, I wouldn't have to work in the fields every day.

Lin Mengmeng went to find Yun Ningyan while she was working, and she immediately asked, "Ningning, let's go sign up!"

Yun Ningyan was still a little confused about what she was saying when she heard her say again, "If we become teachers together, we won't have to be exposed to the wind and rain every day."

Yun Ningyan shook her head: "No!"

Lin Mengmeng tilted her head: "Why?"

She smiled brightly, her eyes crinkling: "I want to slack off! Hehe, go ahead! I support you."

"Okay! You'll have to vote for me then!"

Lin Mengmeng patted Yun Ningyan's hand, then walked away; she still had work to do.

After she left, Yun Ningyan also began to work with her head down.

Meng Zhenzhen was also very excited. After working for the past few days, she felt that these days had been too difficult to endure!

If I could become a teacher, I could relax a lot.

Anyway, I'm just a primary school teacher; I could do it even with my eyes closed.

After finishing work in the evening, she was the first to rush back to the educated youth settlement. Without even eating, she went back to her bedroom, grabbed something, and left.

Yu Lili, Yang Laidi, and Zhang Hongmei shared the same thoughts.

There were other male educated youth as well.

Yu Lili also went back to her house, frantically searching for her things. She also wanted to go to the brigade leader's house to sound him out.

How exactly are these teachers selected?

When they saw Yu Lili enter the house, Yang Laidi and Zhang Hongmei became restless.

Zhang Qiang and Lin Mengmeng, on the other hand, continued cooking as if nothing had happened.

Lin Mengmeng originally intended to take some things to visit the brigade leader's house.

But Zhang Qiang said, "Mengmeng, let's cook! There must be a lot of people at the brigade leader's house right now. Even if we go, there won't be any. I guess the final decision will be made by vote."

Lin Mengmeng nodded, thinking that Zhang Qiang's words made sense.
